What was supposed to be a night of celebration turned into a real massacre in Salvatierra, Guanajuato, which left 11 people dead and 12 wounded in the former Hacienda San José del Carmen, as well as vehicles set on fire.
The events reportedly took place around 3:30 a.m., when an armed group burst into the place and started shooting, a situation that was confirmed by the authorities.
Among the attendees were young people between 17 and 30 years old, of whom 11 were massacred and 12 more were wounded by gunfire. A photo taken hours before the attack was shared on Facebook.
